By the end of former First Lady Michelle Obama’s conversation with moderator Alecia DeCoudreaux, almost every seat in Bankers Life Fieldhouse was empty; not because those tickets were not sold, but be­cause she left them in a standing ova­tion.
“We can control our own indi­vidual actions every single day. Be­ing a good person. Assuming the best in your neighbors and not the worst. Nobody can take that from you,” Obama said as she ended the conver­sation over loud roars from the Indi­anapolis crowd.
The sold-out stadium listened for over an hour as DeCoudreaux asked Obama questions on her time in the White House, women in power, fash­ion and mental health, among others.

Hogate and College Street are going down. The two infamous first year residence halls on DePauw’s campus are set to be demolished sometime in the near future, ac­cording to Associate Vice President of Facilities Management Warren Whitesell.
“We haven’t solidified everything exactly from a timing standpoint, but there is at the very least a beginning of the plan,” Whitesell said.
Whitesell does not anticipate the resident halls to be demolished be­fore the start of the next school year, but said that the Board of Trustees have made it a priority.
Hogate and College Street are “spaces that need more work than they’re worth” Whitesell said, spe­cifically referring to Hogate because many of the building’s problems are

Other students are not quite as willing to let these dormitories go. First-year Tahj Dosso lives in Ho­gate and is not that excited about the University’s newest construction project.
“Hogate gets a bad rap because of the mold,” Dosso said, but per­sonally he enjoys the suite-style layout.
Whitesell said that right now, the priority is planning and ensuring that the transition is as seamless for stu­dents as possible so as not to “sour” the student experience.
“We want to provide,” said Whi­tesell, “a solution that we think will be the best solution for the students, the best solution for DePauw.”
